Chapter 732 - 407: He Yimeng’s 100 Million (Part 3)

She first looked back on her journey after entering the self-media industry, then expressed her gratitude, and finally revealed her true intention: I want to start a business, no longer be an internet celebrity, let’s terminate the contract.

Wu Wenyue was completely confused about it. Although she had previously considered terminating the contract due to He Yimeng’s emotional entanglement with Li Peifeng, she ultimately didn’t act on it because of the benefits. But she didn’t fire her, so why was it that He Yimeng was proposing to terminate the contract?

You must know, as a top-tier internet celebrity with triple A status, He Yimeng’s current monthly income is more than a million, and it’s steadily increasing.

Moreover, just last month, Wu Wenyue had adjusted the studio’s revenue split with He Yimeng to fifty-fifty, so her profits increased. Why would she quit this and choose to start a business instead?

Is she out of her mind?

What industry can make more money than being an internet celebrity?

He Yimeng replied with a cheerful smile, "Making money is secondary, the main thing is I want to change the world!"

"You’re really sick!"

At noon, just after He Yimeng left, Li Peifeng came to deliver food. Wu Wenyue, still upset and puzzled, started to complain, "I asked her specifically what business she’s starting, and she wouldn’t say, I almost wore my lips out. I even increased the split to sixty-forty, but she just wouldn’t stay... I’m telling you, it wasn’t me who pushed her away, she wanted to leave herself, I couldn’t keep her. If you don’t believe it, call her directly and ask her yourself!"

Li Peifeng tentatively asked, "So, did you successfully terminate the contract and part on good terms?"

"Yes!"

Wu Wenyue said, "Originally, her unprovoked termination was a breach of contract, but seeing as she truly didn’t want to stay another day, I had to let her go. It’s better this way, saves me from getting angry whenever I see her..."

At this, her tone paused, and Wenyue’s chopsticks also stopped, as she suspiciously looked at Li Peifeng: "You haven’t been in contact with her lately, right? Isn’t it that He Yimeng has given up on you, wanting to completely sever ties with you?"

Quite the opposite, actually.

Li Peifeng chuckled, "I don’t know, how would I know what she’s thinking."

Wu Wenyue narrowed her eyes, a woman’s sixth sense, combined with her understanding of Li, suddenly made her aware of something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Wu Wenyue sneered, "Did you also give her a billion in dowry? She got this huge sum of money and went off to start a business, right?!"

Li Peifeng replied calmly, "You’re overthinking it, how could that be?"

"Let me see your bank balance."

Wu Wenyue didn’t listen to his excuses, cutting straight to the point, "Hand over your phone, let me see it, quick!"

Li Peifeng exclaimed, "I really have a lot less money in my account because I’ve put it all into copyright operations. Mobile games are seriously money burners, don’t be fooled by how unassuming they look, the production difficulty is high, the cost of a fine mobile game is at least tens of millions of USD..."

Wu Wenyue’s suspicion grew, with a hint of anger, "Stop talking nonsense, show me the balance!"

"I already told you the money is indeed less, what’s there to see?"

"How much less?"

"Less by..."

Li Peifeng cleared his throat, his gaze sincere, "Brother Yue, I love you! Even though there’s a billion less in my account, my love for you hasn’t diminished by a single bit... and you feel the same, right?"

Wu Wenyue got even angrier, "You... did you really give her a dowry?!"

"Why are you shouting at me just because you saw less money in my account?"

"Li Peifeng! If you keep messing around, I’ll kill you!!"

Wu Wenyue was genuinely enraged; Li immediately became meek, explaining that the money given to He Yimeng wasn’t a dowry, but for her to operate copyrights, set up a mobile game company, and such.

But Wu Wenyue still couldn’t accept it. She glared at him for a long time, finally looking despondently out the window, "Five... there are five of them... how many more do you plan on having?"

"No more, not one more!"

Li Peifeng stepped forward to gently caress her cheek, comforting her, "Any more and I really wouldn’t be able to handle it, truly, I swear!"

"Don’t touch me!"

Wu Wenyue pursed her lips, then uncontrollably pouted, her eyes red, suppressing the urge to cry, and started cursing, "Tonight when I get home, I’m going to tell everyone about you and your affairs, Manning definitely won’t let you off... and Old Zhao, I’m done covering for you, why should I keep wronging myself for your sake?! I’m utterly fed up!!"

"Oh no, you’re crying again, Brother Yue, you’re crying again... should I kneel and beg you? Hurry, dry your tears!"

Li Peifeng was heartbroken, frantically begging for forgiveness, but asking for forgiveness seemed to have triggered an emotional valve. Wu Wenyue went from silently shedding tears to sobbing, ignoring what he said, and even turned her head away from him.

Brother Yue is strong but still a girl, and when the feeling of being wronged reaches its peak, tears naturally fall. But with her usual boyish demeanor, these tears were particularly precious, making Li Peifeng feel even more shameful...

There’s no way around it, forming bonds with people means enduring tears and causing tears.

"I’m busy every day... working myself to death, studying, working, and you just add to my troubles every day... Ah, Xiaofeng, can’t you control yourself a little?"

"I can, I really can!"

"You can my foot!"

Wu Wenyue angrily said while crying, "I’m done, I quit working, then I’ll cling to you every day, follow you even to the toilet, I’ll want you eighteen times a day... let’s see if you still have time for any affairs... you ******** thinking with your lower half... aw~ don’t touch me, I’ll bite you!"

"Hsss~"

She really did bite; opening her mouth, she clamped onto Li Peifeng’s hand and didn’t let go, using a lot of force, enough to draw blood from an average person.

But Li could tolerate this level of pain. He pondered that this incident might just be the fuse leading to Wu Wenyue’s emotional breakdown; the most important thing was the exhaustion, as she’s been under quite a bit of pressure lately, the combination of studying and working leaving her mentally strained.

Moreover, after gaining a billion, Wu Wenyue had repeatedly said she wished to lie flat and be a salted fish. Her current tense and busy lifestyle is evidently at odds with her ideal.

"Why don’t we go out and relax?"

Li Peifeng hesitated, "Duoduo mentioned wanting to travel to Western Sichuan Province, how about we go together?"

Wu Wenyue stopped crying, slowly released her grip, and looked at him with tear-filled, slightly reddened eyes, half-skeptical, "Western Sichuan Province?"

"Yes, just the five of us, not taking He Yimeng."

Li Peifeng thought to himself, at this moment, He Yimeng should be at home cramming knowledge related to the gaming industry, probably not having time...

Wu Wenyue’s expression flickered between gloom and brightness, finally giving a cold laugh, "I think you’re not planning to travel to Western Sichuan Province, but seeking trouble for yourself in Western Heaven!"
